Abortion, same-sex marriage deny the truth

There are self-evident truths that are part of our very nature as humans. An example is found in the Declaration of Independence all men are created equal. When government takes a position that defies the truth, it causes a rift within society. These errant positions are condemned by those who recognize truth and truth cannot be compromised. Abortion rights and same-sex marriage are examples of these errant positions.

Abortion rights deny that human life is precious; that life begins at conception; and that a woman is innately nurturing, because it values human life only when it is wanted; allows the killing of an innocent human in the womb; and encourages a mother to kill her baby.

Same-sex marriage denies that human procreation involves an intimate bonding between male and female, as acclaimed in the Christian Bible and the two shall become one, because it dissociates procreation from the marriage act and relegates it to a third party manipulation (e.g. in-vitro fertilization).

Abortion rights have split the nation in two and is a major contributor to the political meanness in Congress today. Same-sex marriage will be just as divisive because it also defies truth.

Correcting the errant position of slavery was understood by President Lincoln in his Second Inaugural Address: "Until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword." A sobering thought for us today if we think of all the innocent blood on our country's hands because of legalized abortion .
